Professional Development Award    

The Cheng & Tsui Professional Development Award offers financial assistance
to Korean language teachers, especially those new to the field, for attending training
workshops, seminars, conferences, and other local, national, or international
in-service learning experiences. The award may also be used to collaborate with
a mentor teacher. Teacher training workshops and seminars attended by the
applicant should be focused on pedagogy and issues of teaching and learning.
The fund has designated an annual amount of $1,000 to be divided between at
least two teachers each year.

are also asked to write a brief report after attending the event for which they
